Gov. Oglesby,

SPRINGFIELD, H., Nov. 6.-Over go
letters and petitions were received by
Gov. Oglesby this morning in reference
to the anarchists case, far the greater
portion being from Chicago. 1t is as
serted with confidence that, contrary to
the rules heretofore, the proportion of
demands for execution We're greatly in
excess of requests for clemeney. This
change of sentiment has undoubtedly
been occaSiOned by the finding of the
bombs in Lingg'S cell. A state house
rumOr says that two more threatening
letters were received by the governor
this morning, and according to the i'll
variable custom were promptly con-
signed to the flames. Gov. Oglesby
seems great deaf less affected by these
threatening letters than are his friends
here in Springfield.
This afternoon members of the legis-
lature, George F. Rohrback, w. P.
Leo P. Dwyer, Thomas McEllicott, James
O'Connor, c. G. Dixon. Daniel Nc
Laughlin and A. J. Streeter,
who favored executive elem
ency for the condemned anarch-
lists, drew up petition to Gov. Oglesby,
stating that, while the subscribers abhOr
the doctrines, teachings and deeds of
any and all anarchists, they believe
public policy, good order and the ends
of justice will be best served by COM
mutation of sentence to Imprisonment
for life. If this shall not seem right to
the governor at the present time in view
of recent alleged finding of the bombs
in Lingg's cell, and in order that time
may be given for thorough investiga-
ton of this matter and as to the de-
grees of guilt of the condemned
men, the petitioners pray the gov
ernor to reprieve them for thirty
days, in order also that public opinion
may have time to develop. An attempt
was made to lay the petition before the
governor this afternoon, but at his re-
quest the presentation was deferred
until tomorrow, when the governor will
give an audience to the delegation and
one from Chicago, headed By Capt.
Black.

A DESERVED THRESHING.

If ever fellow deserved the drubblng
he got it was JOSEPH PULITZER, who
was mashed as fiat as pancake under

New York city yesterday. There has
never been such an ineXcusable act of
political apostasy as Mr.. PULITZER
paper was guilty of in this canvass.
There is no extenuation of his offense,
because it was a malicious, cold-bloOded
attempt to assassinate the Democratic
party by one who had been singularly
honored at its hands. AS Mr.. PULITZER
rubs his eyeglasses this morning and
glances over the figures of yesterdays
vote he will realize to what depths he
has descended. A few days ago the
New York World was the greatest po-
litical power in this country. To-day

DAKOTA RETURNS.

Returns from Dakota are so meager
and scattering that no satisfactory state
ment of the result of yesterdays cleo
ton can be given. 1t is evident that,on
the face of the returns, the divisionists
will have a majority. tits equally clear
that comparatively light vote was
polled, so that after all there is no as
surance that majority of the total vote
of the territory will be in favor of divis-
ion. The returns of the prohibition vote
are surprise. Local option went through
with the sweep of prairie Oh fire. This
result is largely due to the efforts made
by the Women's Temperance union,
which, by the way, is the most aggres-
sive and most successful temperance or
ganiZatiOn in the country,

SION ed the Petition.

CHICAGO, Nov. 8.-A. S. Foster, who

NEW YORK, Nov. San Ottawa
special says: Advices from Alaska via
British Columbia brings further news
regarding the murder of the late Arch
bishop Seghers, as brought out at the
trial at Sitka, by Frank Fuller, the muir
derer. The first witness called was
George Steataw, Yukon Indian, who,
through an interpreter, said that while
they were travelling, and before they
reached camp one night, it appeared as
if Fuller and the bishop were quarrel
ing, but not well understanding the
English language, he could not make
out what the quarrel was about.
Shortly after reaching the camp the
party had supper and retired. They

know what time the following morning
Fuller and an Indian boy, who accom-
panied the party, got up, but Fuller
was the last to rise. Fuller asked the
bishop what time it was, and the latter
told him it was too early to get up,

When the witness awoke from his
second sleep he saw Fuller standing
with his face towards the bishop, ten
feet away, and while witness was stoop-
ing to pick up his mittens Fuller fired
and shot the bishop just above the left
eye, the bali passing downward. He
was confused for moment, and when
the smoke cleared away he saw the
bishop lying dead where he had been
standing. He rushed towards Fuller to
talk the rifle, but the latter told him he
was all right and need not be afraid, as
the dead body of the bishop. whom he
wanted to kill. Another witness, james
Walker, stated that he had received
letter from Fuller, in which he said, Il
have killed the bishop" and expressing
the hope that he would be able to prove
in a court of justice why he had Killed
the bishop, and that he had reason for
doing so. At this point, in reply to the
court, the prisoner, Fuller, said that he
had no questions to ask, adding, after
pause, that he did not know whether he
should ask anything. The court COM

The Verdict of the Windsor Bell
ROy on the Chicago Anarchists.

'What be these vaporings that pierce
the hollow of mine ears SO Oft of late?'
queried the bell boy at the Windsor
hotel yesterday, as the porter came up
to his bench. ''These whisperingS of
blood red anarchs, whose unhOly act now
lifts them high upon a gallows tree;
whose span of life is narrowed till
there's but narrow jump twixt them
and kingdom come? 1t seems as 'twere
a cyclone of small talk on these doomed
creatures now, that rattleS through the
corridors and sets mine ears to ringing,
so that in my dreams at night l look on
COLLINS and list to dying foxes moaning
in caves of gloom, dark and unWhole-
SOme."
'sYes, l hear the talk myself" re-
piled the porter; tits them Chicago an
archists."
land DER my ears there comes
strange talk of pardon. There be they
who say that ere the hour comes when
in the fatal moose they slip their necks,
and, loosing foothOld, are yanked into
the unknown yonder, he who sits high
upon the chair of state shall give them
amnesty. There be they who give it
out as frozen hunks, Clipped from the
great berg of Truth, that these doomed
men shall never loose their foOthOld on
this earth till Gabriel plays his trumpet
in the usual way and they slide from
this world as smooth and quietly as one
might slip on tOboggan slide when it
were paved with goosegrease. Many
say that those same men, who monkeyed
with that buZZ-Saw, men call law, shall
see that saw stopped running just be-
fore it cuts the cords that lets them drop
to SheOl."
Eyes, there's some talk about letting
them Off" replied the porter.
deeply this grieves me, went on the
bell boy. Il like not these strange
sOphistries, that on the schedule put
Mercy in Justices place. IT'S this same
thing that breeds whole nests of anarch-
lists: this suppoSiti0n that on this broad
land the goddess with the scales takes
regular vacations. Some seem to think
that law has been knocked out and that
the referee has given the fight to Mercy.
IT'S not so. Let the blind goddess have
her innings now ere darkness close the
game"
Eyes, that's the way it looks to me-"
said the porter.
/. ''The courts should be the umpire"
continued the bell boy, sand as they say,
that these same seven hurled the deadly
dynamite bomb, whereby the souls of
seven stalwart men were Shucked like
peanuts from their earthly shells, then
let no high officials, governors or such,
rub out the record. This anarchY's
plant of foreign growth, that spreads its
poison DER the field it blooms in and
turns the green grass to a withered
waste, dried UP and colorleSS, save here
and there it's tinged with streaks OF

YES" said the porter. "that's right.
If they trou the bomb they ought to
swing for it."

as the villain who performs the deed In
cold blood and has the nerve to say that
he meant to do 1t. In many cases the
parents are more at fault than their
children, for they carelessly leave
loaded firearms within reach of them;
and if there is anything on earth that is
''thing of beauty and joy forever
in the eyes of boy from the age of
seven to eighteen years, it is a gun or
revolver; and if he gets his hands on it
aud it is loaded, report is sure to fol-
low very soon after.
In the case referred to above there is
no excuse for the deed. THOMAS SMITH
may say that he didn't know the gun
was loaded, but that should not clear
him from the blame that has fallen upon
him. He is responsible person. He is as
capable now at the age of fifteen years
of knowing that gun is loaded as lie
will be at the age of twenty-one. His
youth should be no plea in his favor.
He is old enough to know the criminal
liability of pointing a gun at another
person, loaded or empty, and he should
be punished accordingly. Fortunately
for the girl. the charge from the gun did
not strike her in vital point, but she Is
Scared and probably crippled for life,
and at the hands of young scapegrace
who will claim that he ought to be ex-
cused as he is only fifteen years old and
didn't know the gun was loaded. 1t is
no fault of his that the girl isn't
corpse, and if he had been the cause of
her death he would have offered the
same plea in his own behalf. If there
is any virtue in law it is high time that
some of it was poured out on such care
less scallawags as young SMITH, and
that they be made to suffer for their
criminal recklessness. An incarcera-
ton of about three OF four years in the
penitentiary would place him safely be-
yond the reach of firearms until he was
perfectly competent to tell whether
they were loaded or not, and that is
what seems to be desirable in his case.

Seeking For Mercy,

CHICAGO, Nov. 8.-The last delega-
ton to wait on the governor with petit
lions for clemency for the condemned
anarchists left the city tonight. Capt.
Black was asked if he had any real
hope that the governor would interfere
with the sentence. He replied that he
was quite confident that clemency
would be extended to Schwab and
Fielden, if not to the others.
'.Of COURSE" said he, ''there is no
hope for Lingg. He has signed his own
DOOM"
"In case of an execution will the men
be attended by ministers?'
Capt. Black-These men have religion
of their own, and do not want any min
listers of the gospel. They are not re-
ligious men in the common sense of
that term, but are agnostics-not athe-
lists, remember.
Miss Van Zandt had brief interview
with Spies through the netting OF the
LAWYERS cage. Mrs. Schwab, Mrs.
